USGS Hydrologic Technician Heather Bragg collects suspended-sediment sample from a cableway downstream from Fall Creek Reservoir. Reservoir was drawn down to purge sediment and trapped fish from behind dam in December 2012.
Assessing channel change, habitat health, and flood hazards across Oregon rivers and streams.
Below are other science projects associated with this project.
Chetco River Gravel Transport Study
In 2009, the USGS completed a comprehensive study of gravel transport and storage along the lower Chetco River.
Geomorphology of the Sprague River Basin
The USGS documents historical and current channel and floodplain processes and conditions to assist management and regulatory agencies in evaluating restoration proposals and designing effective restoration and monitoring strategies for the Sprague River and its principle tributaries. The study involves multiple analyses, including assessments of historical channel change, riparian and floodplain...
Environmental Flow Studies for Middle Fork Willamette, McKenzie, and Santiam River Basins
Environmental flows are defined as "streamflow needed to sustain ecosystems while continuing to meet human needs."
Below are multimedia items associated with this project.

Acoustic Doppler Measurement from a Cableway
USGS Hydrologist Liam Schenk measures sediment transport using an acoustic doppler instrument suspended from a cableway downstream from Fall Creek Reservoir. Reservoir was drawn down to purge sediment and trapped fish from behind dam in December 2012.

Marmot Dam Removal, Sandy River, Oregon: Time-Lapse
The USGS put together time-lapse video of the breach of the Marmot Dam, on the Sandy River in Oregon. Hydrology experts from the USGS Oregon Water Science Center and the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory are studying this removal, the largest planned removal in the Pacific Northwest thus far.
